My son's school ends at 3pm. He is supposed to call me daily at 3:30 to check in with me, unless he goes to the afterschool program instead of his after school care.
Yesterday I didn't hear from my son at 3:30, so I waited until about 3:40 as maybe the bus was running late. I kept calling him and calling him and calling him. I couldn't reach him. So I called the SVP of the company at 3:50 and told him I had to go. I then called my mom and said, "IcantgetaholdofJoeySkyI'monmywayhomerightnowCallhimpleasegottagobye." and hung up the phone as I peeled out of the work parking lot.
I called my aunt who lives a few blocks away to see if he had gone home. About 20 minutes later, I still hadn't heard of anything was freaking out. Every single person in front of me was driving about 5 miles an hour.
As I pulled off my first exit, my car started to stall. Shit. I had planned on getting gas last night after work, but not being able to get ahold of my son, I had to just go and find him. (Side note to the waste of life Casey Anthony It only took 15 minutes for me to go into panic mode and I had 3 other people on the search with in 20 minutes, not 20+ days. She's gone and you know what happened to her. ) As I pulled off the ramp, my car started to buck, I had to hit my gas harder just to move the car.
In the midst of not being able to locate my child, I had to stop and get gas. I don't know how much I put in my tank, but today I'm back on "Low fuel" light again. I most likely only put in enough to get home.
Talk about panic. I was not able to reach my son for more than an hour, my heart was being torn in two for that entire hour. I was in tears driving and tailgating every single person. Which I know is dangerous.... but if your child was missing, wouldn't you too?
In the end, he had a half day of school and went to the other afterschool program, which he was instructed to do. Which made me proud, however, there was nothing listed on the school website about it being a half a day.
Even thinking about it my heart skips a beat. But as I said, he was where he was supposed to be.
In other news, my home computer is still dead. The Trojan Virus has eaten it and I haven't got the cash to get it fixed right now. So my internet time is very limited.
I've got to update on the car accident, clothing projects and work issues... I need to get my ProgPower memories out, even if I can't add the pictures yet.
Anyway, back to work for me.
